Abstract: A process to load a medical device comprising a shape memory material into a delivery system is described herein. According to one aspect, the method includes applying a force to the medical device to obtain a delivery configuration thereof, where the device is at a first temperature within an R-phase temperature range of the shape memory material during application of the force. The medical device is cooled in the delivery configuration to a second temperature at or below a martensite finish temperature of the shape memory material. The force is then removed from the medical device, and the device is loaded into a delivery system. Preferably, the medical device substantially maintains the delivery configuration during the loading process.

Abstract: An equipment of power generator comprises a starting device, a control device, a rotating mechanism, a power generating apparatus and a power storage apparatus. When the power generator needs to be operated, the starting device is instructed by the control device to initiate the operation of the rotating mechanism, which is kept in constant manner due to the repulsive interaction in same magnetic poles of eccentric magnetic objects, then the power generating apparatus is driven to produce electric energy for being stored in the power storage apparatus so that it is accessible by users in usage. The user can oversee the operational status of the power generator as said control device receives all signals from the rotating mechanism, power generating apparatus and power storage apparatus. Thus, through synergistic structure of all the components, the pollution accrued and energy consumed by the power generator can be effectively reduced.

Abstract: A method and a system for processing an address book are provided. The method includes the following steps. A network address book (NAB) parses a user address book, and generates an acquisition request according to settings of the user address book. The NAB acquires contact information to be updated according to the acquisition request, and updates the user address book. The NAB synchronizes or transmits updated information of the user address book to a piece of user equipment (UE). By using the method, plenty of contact information is acquired according to the user settings. Therefore, the method solves the problems that the address books in the conventional technology have single-purpose functions and closely related to services and thus cannot serve as an independent function for providing services for the user. In addition, address book information on a plurality of UEs of the user can be updated synchronously, so that when one UE initiates address book information update, the address books on other UEs are updated accordingly. Therefore, the consistency between the address book information on the UEs is guaranteed.
